    I heard someone say there’s a North Montenegro now. Is that true?

      They probably meant North Macedonia. Macedonia changed it’s name since there is also Macedonia in Greece which is presumably the southern part of Macedonia. There’s a lot of places like that in Europe. Usually remnants of old kingdoms. Tyrol is a region encompassing part of Northern Italy and Western Austria for example. Bohemia is another example which historically was a lot bigger than the region of Czech nowadays.
